The No Excuses Workout!



Below is a conversation that transpired this evening between Web and I.  I was sitting at the kitchen table, he was in the office.  Yes, we realize we are nerds for using G Chat as a form of communication in our home.  Although, for those of you who know my husband, it makes perfect sense.  It was nearly 10pm and I had yet to get a workout in for the day.  I have become a wimp to the cold, so working out in the garage was out and my 2 week membership to Gold's Gym has just expired (and I don't intend on paying to use their facility).  Luckily, Rebecca Voigt was kind enough to send me this no frills, no excuses workout today.  As Becca kindly said to me, "here it is in all its glory, it sucks like a good workout should."

me:  u there?
webster.m.smith:  yeees
me:  did you workout today?
webster.m.smith:  nope
me:  any desire to do a burpee wod with me in the living room?  becca voigt sent it to me today.  burpees are the only movement, its the rep scheme thats tricky
webster.m.smith:  huh? when?
me tonight.... now.... whenev
webster.m.smith:  what is it?
me:  Burpee Madness
webster.m.smith:  ok living room?
 me:  yeah, we can move the ottoman out of the way
 me:  ready when you are
webster.m.smith:  ok


BURPEE MADNESS


Minute one: 10 Burpees
Minute two: 20 Burpees
Minute three: 5 Burpees
Minute four: 11 Burpees
Minute five: 2 Burpees
Minute six: 18 Burpees
Minute seven: 6 Burpees
Minute eight: 15 Burpees
Minute nine: 4 Burpees
Minute ten: 8 Burpees
Minute eleven: 17 Burpees
Minute twelve: 3 Burpees
Minute thirteen: 13 Burpees

If for any reason that you don't hit the specified # of burpees in the minute you must finish the remaining burpees on the next minute but you can not move on to the next set of burpees, you must wait until the next minute.

  2. Hi there my name is Corinne. I just happened to stumble on your blog while I was "Blurfing" (my term for blog surfing *wink*) I too am a Crossfitter but most importantly I'm a christian. I digging your strength and determination in being "4 better". You go girl. But what i even enjoy reading more is that you want to be 1 better for HIM! I look forward to reading more of your posts. And wow that burpee madness...I need to try that. I'm a momma of 19 month triplets. So going to the box is hard for me. I'm lucky if I get in there 3 days a week.
    Well thank you for the encouragement. Keep it going girl.
